Exxon Mobil has publicly said it supports action on climate change, but at the same time appears to be fighting against legislative attempts to tackle in.
Greenpeace’s video features lobbyist Keith McCoy, who claims the company secretly fought against legislative action on climate change using third-party sources.
McCoy also said he lobbied key Senators to remove and/or diminish climate change measures from President Biden’s $2trn infrastructure and jobs bill.
McCoy has represented the company in Washington for eight years and is one of Exxon Mobil’s most senior lobbyists.
Greenpeace investigators, posing as head-hunters, questioned McCoy on Zoom about Exxon’s current and historical lobbying on environmental issues.
Shocking stuff. The guilty congressmen have not been named in the article but there you go. All you deniers have been played by people who are a bit smarter than you.
Da Iawn Greenpeace.
